2.The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 23) when depressed with finger at midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.

Replacing theV-belt

1.Remove the belt cover.

2.Place an offset wrench (13 mm) or the like on the vibrator pulley (lower) fastening bolt.

3.Using a waste cloth or the like, pull the V-belt back strongly at midway of the belt on the left side and rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt will come off.

4.Check the clutch and replace as necessary, following the procedures listed in Checking the Clutch.

5.Place the V-belt on the lower vibrator pulley. Push the V-belt to the left side of the upper clutch and rotate the offset wrench clockwise so that the V-belt moves onto the pulley.

Checking the Clutch

1.With belt cover removed, visually check outer drum of the clutch for seizure and "V" groove for wear or damage.

2.Clean the "V" groove as necessary.

3.Check the clutch lining and shoe for signs of wear. If the shoe is worn, replace the clutch to prevent deficient power transmission and slippage.

Replacing the Clutch

1.RemoveV-belt.

2.Remove bolt at engine power output by tapping an engaged wrench (e.g. tapping with hammer) and rotate the bolt counterclockwise.

3.Remove clutch with a pulley extractor.

4.To install a new clutch, reverse steps 1-3.

3.A loose V-belt will decrease the power transmission output, causing reduced compaction and premature wear of the belt.

4.If the V-belt becomes worn or loose, replace it .
